I love this song, had to figure it out. First tab ever!
[Intro]
D     G     D     G
A     G     D  G  D
[Verse]
Yeah I'm Dstealing cigarettes  Selling them Aoff to friends for rent
Plus a Bpaycheck and still in debt  I'm asking, how Gcould it be?
I Dknow they know I'm beneath them  Even homeless Aassholes know my name
Now it's BUrban Flight or cell for the night  Y'know it's Gall the same
[Pre-Chorus]
One can Atell themselves About when Ggoing gets tough
But Adetermination Just Gain't enough
                           A   G(strum once)
When over-time defines your life
[Chorus]
This American DMeG  A  
This American DMeG  A  
[Verse 2]
DTradition tells us home own  But the Atimecards saying no go
Now the Bsuits are talking foreclose  From sea to Gshining sea
Time Dwas a war time economy  Was a Asilver lining to tragedy
But even Bthose with homes are now those alone  In the Gland of the free
[Pre-Chorus]
I Aasked for nothing And I Ggot it in spades
AWorked for a living and I Gearned a cage
                              A   G(strum once)
Now they say I look old for my age
[Chorus]
This American DmeG  A  
This American DmeG  A  
I'm pretty sure that's right. Feel free to correct if not!
